Countermandering

The strategic redrawing of electoral district boundaries in Democratic-leaning (blue) states as a direct response to partisan gerrymandering by Republicans in red states. While gerrymandering typically aims to entrench power unfairly, countermandering is framed as a defensive or corrective measure intended to restore electoral balance and representation.

Derived from “counter” (against, in opposition to) and “gerrymandering” (manipulating voting districts for political gain).
In an effort to level the electoral playing field, state lawmakers in Illinois engaged in countermandering to offset aggressive gerrymandering tactics used in Texas and Florida.
